"The wound isn't deep, and it will heal in a few days." The school doctor said as he stood in front of Cen Shengyuan's bed. "It's nothing serious, and you don't even need to bandage it, but it's best if you stay in the hospital for a few days."
"Didn't they say the wound was very shallow?"
"But he has a cold and has a slight fever now. I'll ask the nurse to come and give him some medicine later."
cold?
I suddenly remembered the kiss before. Could it be that I infected Cen Shengyuan?
But Cen Shengyuan's wound was not serious, just a scratch on the skin. However, I found it funny when I thought that such a powerful demon king would faint at the sight of blood.
Cen Shengyuan, who was lying on the bed, had fallen asleep. Listening to his even breathing, Enhui, who had been waiting anxiously with me, finally felt relieved.
"Xiao Mo, I'm going back first. Do you still want to stay here?"
"Well, I want to be with him."
"By the way, Wenrou has taken the luggage back." Enhui frowned and looked at me, "Xiaomo, I think you should continue to live in the perfect apartment!"
Seeing her serious expression, I lowered my head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, Eun-hye, it's all because of me. Does your foot still hurt?"
"It's okay. The school doctor just applied medicine to me. You don't have to say sorry to me. Just wait, someone actually dared to attack me. He is not going to die!"
"Enhui, are you going to seek revenge on those bad boys?" Looking at her wide eyes, I suddenly felt guilty. "You have always been popular. These people must be coming for me. You are just implicated..."
"Su Xiaomo! What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by being implicated by you?" Enhui's voice suddenly became very high, "Or do you not consider me a friend?"
"No!" I shook my head desperately, deeply moved.
Ever since I met her, Enhui has been helping me enthusiastically and has never complained. I reached out and hugged her, saying, "Enhui, it's great to know you..."
"boom!"
The door of the ward suddenly opened, and Chi Zaochuan and Wen Rou rushed in hurriedly.
"what happened?"
"Enhui!" Wenrou saw Enhui was also here, and walked over and asked, "Are you okay?"
I let go of Eun-hui and left them some time, while Chi Zaochuan stood beside Cen Shengyuan's bed with a frown, staring at his arm.
"Hey, Su Xiaomo, what's going on? Who did it?" It was the first time I heard Chi Zaochuan's cold voice. He lowered his head to check Cen Shengyuan's injuries. "Is it because Shengyuan hasn't taken action recently that everyone has forgotten something? How dare you attack him?"
I nervously told the story: "Enhui and I were attacked by a group of bad boys who suddenly rushed out of the woods. Cen Shengyuan tried to save us..."
"A small forest? What are you doing in a place like that so late at night?" Chi Zaochuan keenly discovered the loophole in my words. He frowned and glared at me. "Although Cen Shengyuan's kung fu is indeed very good, those people were holding knives. We were lucky this time, and it was just a scratch. What if the other party was more ruthless?"
"Chi Zaochuan, shut up!"
Cen Shengyuan didn't know when he woke up. He stretched out his uninjured hand to rub his forehead, raised his head to look at Wenrou and Enhui who were holding hands, and said, "Wenrou, go and take Enhui back to the dormitory."
Chi Zaochuan stopped complaining, while Cen Shengyuan frowned and looked at his wound.
"Su Xiaomo, did the doctor say..."
I was embarrassed and when Cen Shengyuan asked me , I quickly said, "The doctor said you have a cold. It's best to be hospitalized and get an IV drip..."
"Who asked you this? Did the doctor say whether this wound would leave a scar?"
"The doctor didn't say. I'll go ask later."
Cen Shengyuan looked at me with dissatisfaction, then turned his head to look at Chi Zaochuan and said, "They are just a few bad boys, you don't have to scold her like that, right?"
Chi Zaochuan shrugged and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have said it, but you don't have to protect her like this, right? If your sister came back and saw you like this, I don't know how she would scold you!"
"do not talk!"
Cen Shengyuan's face suddenly turned pale, and a hint of curiosity arose in my heart.
He has a sister? Why haven't I heard of it before?
At this moment, there were suddenly footsteps in the corridor outside the ward, mixed with excited screams, and then the nurse's scolding: "Hey! This is a hospital, keep your voice down!"
"It should be the group of fans outside who found your ward. I'll go out and stop them."
Ike Hayakawa glared at me and walked out quickly.
call……
It turns out that Ike Hayakawa can be so serious sometimes.
I was relieved that I didn't have to be questioned by him, but I found that Cen Shengyuan was looking at me seriously.
"Cen... Cen Shengyuan..."
"Tell me, what are you doing with your suitcase and Eun Hye? Moving?"
"I...I want to live with Eun-hye..."
"Why? Do you take our contract as a joke?"
I glanced at Cen Shengyuan and made a quick decision.
I bit my lip and said, "My mother is coming to work at the college, and I'm afraid she'll find out that I live with a boy... "
Cen Shengyuan looked at my expression carefully, as if trying to determine the truth of my words, and asked, "When?"
"It should be in the next few days. She is going to be the dean of Best College..." I lowered my head and said, "I transferred here because she is going to be the dean of Best College."
He didn't say anything for a long time. I raised my head, looked at him seriously, and said, "Really! I'm telling the truth!"
"I'll forgive you this time, but if you hide something from me again next time, the consequences will be serious!"
Because of a cold, Cen Shengyuan's voice sounded weak, but the strong threat in his tone made me feel cold all over.
If he finds out that I swapped contracts...
"You should go back and rest too. I don't need you to stay here." Cen Shengyuan closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.
Is he angry?
I moved a chair over and sat beside Cen Shengyuan's bed, looking at his peaceful sleeping face, but my head was getting heavier and heavier...
Take a nap! Go back when you wake up!
I said this to myself in my heart, and then fell asleep beside Cen Shengyuan's bed.
I slept very uneasily. In my dream, Cen Shengyuan found out that I had secretly swapped the contract. He tore up the contract with a cold face, then turned and left.
"don't want!"
do not leave Me!
I was awakened by a nightmare, and just as I opened my eyes, I suddenly felt a warm touch on my forehead.
This is……
"Hey! Brat! What are you doing? Take your hands away right now!"
Is this my mother's voice?
What should I do? What should I do? My mother came at this time. How should I explain that I was lying on the bed?
And Cen Shengyuan was still there!
I was about to open my eyes, but I quickly closed them tightly. It felt like there was a little rabbit in my arms, running around restlessly.
Cen Shengyuan, don’t say that I’m disloyal. I believe you can handle my mother!
"you are?"
Cen Shengyuan's cold voice came.
"Take your hands off my daughter's shoulders, you little bastard!" The mother rushed over angrily, "What grade and class are you in? What's your relationship with my daughter?"
However, my mother's voice paused for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "What's wrong with Xiaomo?"
"She was attacked on campus..."
"Attack?" She stood up suddenly and her expression became serious.
"She's fine. I got a little hurt trying to save her, so she stayed to take care of me." Cen Shengyuan emphasized the word "save her". "Auntie, you're here just in time. Your daughter was attacked on campus. You should take good care of this college."
"That's my business." After hearing what Cen Shengyuan said, my mother's tone finally softened, but the next second she immediately discovered something strange. "Don't change the subject. When I came in just now, I saw you kissing her. Is this also to save her?"
"Of course not, Auntie, don't you know what a kiss means?"
"Hey, brat, stop interrupting me! I'm telling you, if you think my daughter is innocent and easy to fool, you're wrong! As long as I'm here, I won't let you brats get your hands on her!"
My mother yelled at Cen Shengyuan excitedly, but he just interrupted her calmly: "Auntie, please keep your voice down. Xiaomo needs to rest quietly."
"She still has the nerve to ..."
Cen Shengyuan grabbed my mother's hand as she tried to push me away, and his tone became serious: "Auntie, did you know that she had a cold before?"
"Of course I know!"
"Then I just said that your daughter was attacked and just fell asleep. Don't you care if she was frightened?"
Listening to his righteous questioning, my mother was speechless for a moment: "But you can't let her lie there like this."
"Her cold hasn't fully healed yet. When she wakes up, I'll let her rest in bed. It's just right for her to recover from the cold in the hospital. Since you're the new dean, I'll ask for leave directly from you!"
"but……"
"Yes, and when Xiaomo was sick before, she once said that she missed the chicken soup you made by hand. Auntie, please take care of it for a while!"
"This child always refuses to drink when she's at home..." Mom's tone slowly softened, "Then I'll leave Xiaomo to you first. I'll come to see her tomorrow."
No way?
Mom, where was your fighting power when you were educating me at home? How come Cen Shengyuan could get around it so easily?
Big devil, I didn’t expect you to be so victorious in front of my mother!
"Okay, bye, Auntie."
Hearing my mother's footsteps slowly disappearing, I suddenly opened my eyes and looked at Cen Shengyuan in surprise.
"Cen Shengyuan, you actually managed to get her like this?"
"Hehe..." Cen Shengyuan half leaned on the bed, looking at me with an expression that said "I'm just that awesome", "I've just talked to the doctor, you still seem to have a slight fever, go lie down on the bed next to you for a while."
I turned my head and saw that the bed next to me had been made up. I also felt my head was heavy. I stretched out my hand to rub my temple and slowly stood up.
"Stop rubbing it and go lie down for a while."
The sky outside the window had turned completely dark, but I didn't feel sleepy at all.
Lying on the hospital bed, listening to Cen Shengyuan's even breathing, suddenly a warm feeling surged into my heart, and I felt like crying.
"Cen Shengyuan, I'm sorry."
"Huh?" Cen Shengyuan didn't expect me to apologize to him, and there was a hint of surprise in his lazy voice.
"I should have told you what happened today a long time ago, but I was afraid you would be angry..."
"If you're afraid that I'll be angry, then don't move out." Cen Shengyuan said lightly, "Anyway, your mother seems to know everything. You were awake from the beginning, right?"
"yes!"
"Su Xiaomo, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that your mother will know that you have a boyfriend?"
etc……
Something is wrong...
Boy friend?
Did I just say that? I was talking about living together.
I turned around in panic to look at Cen Shengyuan's expression, but just happened to see a fleeting smile on his face.
"I clearly said that I didn't want her to find out that I live with a boy!"
Although I have a good relationship with Cen Shengyuan now, and everyone around me also assumes that I am his girlfriend, he has not confessed his love to me yet, and there is also that contract...
"It's okay. Your mother saw me kissing your forehead just now. She will understand."
Cen Shengyuan, please don't be so indifferent!
"But..." Cen Shengyuan's voice suddenly turned cold, "Where are you going in the future, you must tell me first. If I don't go back, what will happen to you and Enhui?"
I bit my lip and lowered my head.
"There were eight boys there, and you were walking on such a remote path when it was so dark. Did zombies eat your brain?"
"I know I was wrong..."
Listening to Cen Shengyuan's cold voice, I also felt that I was really stupid. Fortunately, Enhui was fine, otherwise I really don’t know how to face her.
"Do you know how worried I am?"
Suddenly, an extremely gentle voice sounded in the quiet ward. I looked up in surprise and looked at Cen Shengyuan, who was leaning against the bed with his head lowered. He lowered his head, and his long eyelashes cast a deep shadow on his eyelids.
"When you first planned to move out secretly without telling me, did you ever think about how I would feel when I came back at night and saw your room was empty?"
"Cen Shengyuan..."
Cen Shengyuan is no longer as cold as he was when I first met him. From his last apology to his confession just now, he seems to be showing a different side to me more and more.
Does this mean that I am different in his heart?
"Do you think I felt angry when I saw the empty room?" Cen Shengyuan's voice echoed in the ward, with a hint of sadness. "My heart tightened instantly. It was so late. Where could such a stupid girl run to? Would she be in danger? She had a cold. Did she take medicine at night? Did she wear a coat? You thought you left so cleanly, without even leaving a note. Have you ever thought about how I feel?"
"I'm sorry, Cen Shengyuan..."
He turned his head, looked at me seriously, and said, "Su Xiaomo, do you really want to escape so much?"
Am I running away?
I lowered my head, not daring to look at Cen Shengyuan. I felt his gaze on me, lingering for a long time, and when I raised my head again, he had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.
When he said "escape", did he mean that I was going to leave the perfect apartment, or that we were in love?
"Cen Shengyuan, this is a nutritional supplement that can promote wound healing, this is a cosmetic that will prevent scars, and this is..."
I was woken up early in the morning, and the person who woke me up was standing in front of Cen Shengyuan's bed. It was Susie, the person I hated the most.
Although I hate Susie, I have to admit that Miss Susie, who was standing in front of Cen Shengyuan's bed and chattering non-stop, really knew Cen Shengyuan very well.
Cen Shengyuan remained silent, his brows furrowed tightly. He turned his head and looked at me. My heart trembled, and I quickly closed and pretended to sleep.
Please! I don't want to deal with Susie!
But the reality is always contrary to our wishes.
"Su Xiaomo, are you awake?"
I opened my eyes reluctantly, only to see Susie's sarcastic smile.
"Um……"
How annoying!
"Cen Shengyuan, it was you who got hurt because you were trying to save her, so why is she lying on the bed pretending to be injured?"
She glared at me fiercely, but Cen Shengyuan raised his head with unusual sensitivity, his face very solemn, and said: "Susie, how do you know that I was injured because I was trying to save her?"
"I……"
"When I asked for leave, I only said that I was injured." Cen Shengyuan stared at Su Qian coldly, "How did you know that I was injured because I was trying to save Xiaomo?"
"I...I'm just guessing..."
The demon king's eyes became even colder, and he asked, "Are you sure?"
"I...I'm going back to class first..."
Su Si avoided Cen Shengyuan's gaze guiltily, dropped the bags of nutritional supplements, and left as if escaping.
I stared at Susie running out in amazement, and then I realized the deep meaning of his words, so I asked, "Cen Shengyuan, could Susie have found those bad boys?"
"I was planning to trick her, but I didn't expect her to reveal her true colors so quickly in order to accuse you." Cen Shengyuan reached out and rummaged through a pile of things, then pulled out a bag of bear biscuits and asked, "Do you want some?"
I don't want to eat anything Susie sent me!
I shook my head desperately, but Cen Shengyuan laughed and said, "Then you can just eat the hospital meal!"
Sick meal?
Just as I was wondering, a nurse came in with a dining cart. She neatly set up a small table for me and put a bowl of porridge and a small plate of vegetables on it. When she wanted to get these for Cen Shengyuan, he quickly refused her.
Is this my sick meal?
That’s too much!
I frowned and picked up a piece of vegetable with chopsticks. After putting it in my mouth, I realized belatedly that it was boiled vegetable without even salt.
I shouted to the nurse: "I'm done eating!"
After the nurse packed up and left, Cen Shengyuan threw me a bag of bear biscuits with an "you see" look.
Well, even though it was bought by Susie, it’s at least better than white porridge with boiled vegetable leaves. My most important task now is to keep my body in good health.
Just when I was about to eat the cookie imagining that I was Susie, Wenrou suddenly opened the door and walked in.
Wenrou saw me lying on the bed and was obviously stunned for a moment. She asked, "Xiaomo, are you injured too?"
Well……
Didn't he notice that I was there yesterday?
I pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "I'm not injured, I just haven't recovered from the cold. How is Enhui? Is she okay?"
"Well, she's fine now. I helped her apply medicine yesterday, and she's full of energy again." After saying this, Wen Rou looked at Cen Shengyuan again, "I checked, and a bad boy said that someone gave him money to attack girls passing by there, and the people who came to them were also students from Best College."
After saying this, Wenrou seemed to remember something, turned her head and looked at me and said, " Xiaomo, you are quite brave!"
How come I'm brave?
But it was the first time I heard Wenrou speak in such an admiring tone.
"What's wrong with me?" I asked puzzled.
Wenrou laughed loudly: "Xiaomo, do you know? After you and Cen Shengyuan were admitted to the hospital yesterday, Chi Zaochuan and I went to the place where you were attacked. We just wanted to take a look, but we didn't expect that there was a wounded person lying on the ground who couldn't get up."
Could it be that...
"It is said that he was stepped on several times by a crazy girl, and is now lying in the intensive care unit upstairs!"
Intensive Care Unit...
Cen Shengyuan couldn't help laughing: "Xiaomo, isn't it time for you to lose weight? You've stepped on someone and sent him to the intensive care unit."
If I don't step on him, do you expect me to punch and kick him? I am a weak woman!
"That poor bad boy has been traumatized by Xiaomo stepping on him." Wenrou couldn't help laughing, and said after she had laughed enough, "When he saw someone lift their foot, he shouted "Don't step on him" and foamed at the mouth. When we asked him, he was so scared that he told us everything without being forced."
I lowered my head in dismay and continued eating my cookies.
What are you laughing at? Cen Shengyuan, don't you have a cold? Why are you laughing so happily?
However, Wenrou just said that Susie really hired someone to do this? But how did she know that Enhui and I would pass by there?
Cen Shengyuan suddenly asked, "Xiaomo, when did you go to Enhui to ask her to help you move your luggage?"
I racked my brains to recall: "I called Eun-hye at the time, but her phone was turned off, so I ran to the classroom to find her. We were standing near the back of the classroom..."
At this moment, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have seen a familiar figure. Now thinking back, it seemed to be the yellow dress that Yin Meimei often wore.
Wenrou's expression suddenly turned ugly, and I said to him guiltily: "I'm sorry, Wenrou, it's all because of me that Enhui was implicated..."
Cen Shengyuan's magnetic voice entered my ears. In my heart, it was no longer so cold, but instead brought a warm feeling: "Xiaomo, this is not your fault. No one would have thought that she and Susie would do such a thing, but remember to stay away from her in the future. Not every pitiful person deserves sympathy. There must be something hateful about pitiful people."
I looked up at Cen Shengyuan. His handsome face had a gentle expression. He looked at me quietly for a while, then turned his head and said, "Wenrou, go to the Discipline Department and ask someone to investigate. Don't alert the enemy yet. Wait until you find evidence."
I didn't pay attention to what Wenrou answered Cen Shengyuan, I just stared blankly at Cen Shengyuan's profile.
What kind of person is he?
If it were a month ago, I might have said that he was an egomaniac, a mysophobe, a perfectionist, and a disgusting demon.
But now, I discovered that beneath Cen Shengyuan's cold appearance, he actually has a passionate heart.
The reason why Chi Hayakawa and Wenrou have always endured his sharp tongue is perhaps because under his cold appearance he has a heart warmer than anyone else.
It was not until now that I was sure of my feelings. It turned out that I had fallen in love with him without realizing it.
But, can such a good boy really be mine?
Does he really like me?
